The Eternal Light of Jewish Unity

As the flickering flames of the Hanukkah candles cast a warm glow across Jewish homes around the world, the timeless narrative of the Maccabees resonates deep in our collective consciousness, serving as a poignant reminder of resilience and faith. Fueled by unwavering determination and steadfast commitment to their identity, nation, land, and religion, the Maccabees overcame the forces that sought to wipe them out, reclaiming the Temple in Jerusalem against all odds. At the same time, as we revel in the echoes of that historical victory, we must confront the stark reality that evil still casts its shadow upon us.
